Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Listen to Me, It’s Right_1Shen Dong shook his head, "Truly seeking death. Let’s move on."
He hadn’t walked far when the islander’s eyes spun around and he shouted in English, "Mr. Shen, I’ve finally waited for you. Hurry and tell them I’m your friend."
The leader of the Black Blood Army understood a bit of English and asked, "Mr. Shen, are you his friend?"
Shao Yangrong immediately translated for Shao Yangrong.
Shen Dong shook his head, "I am not his friend."
Shen Dong understood what the little islander meant—he wanted him to save his life.
He didn’t have much liking for the people of the island nation to begin with, and this guy was just a hooligan; such a person deserved to die, and he was not about to save him.
Shao Yangrong promptly translated for the Black Blood Army.
"You son of a bitch!" The leader of the Black Blood Army shot the islander dead with a single shot.
It was just a minor episode.
Shen Dong’s party got back into the car and continued on their way.
After more than two hours, they finally arrived at the location of the gold mine.
There were a lot of mining equipments around.
They also built a three-story office building and some living quarters.
The workers for this project all lived here.
With the project halted, the staff had nothing to do and were chatting idly in the office building.
"Mr. Duan, I heard the company sold the project to someone else?" someone asked.
All eyes turned to a middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man was the project supervisor, Duan Jinnian.
He was aware of any news within the company.
"Yes, the person should be coming soon to take over the project," Duan Jinnian nodded and said.
"Don’t know who will take over, but they’re sure to lose a fortune."
"The company is quite good at hoodwinking people. After spending some time, they really found a buyer."
"Whoever buys this project is bound to suffer losses. I wonder who was fooled."
"Didn’t Mr. Duan say someone would be arriving soon? We’ll see then," another added.
There was a flurry of discussions among the people.
"Who says it will be a loss? As long as the gold is found, it’s a hundred percent profit," Duan Jinnian frowned and said.
"Mr. Duan, it’s been so long and even Xijiang Gold Company couldn’t find it. Do you think it’s still possible?"
"If you ask me, it’s not that it can’t be found; it just isn’t there."
"Mr. Duan, I’m not doubting your ability, but this scenario is very possible. Haven’t you mentioned before that there can be mishaps?"
"Yeah, if there’s no gold in this mine, it’s good that Xijiang Gold Company managed to find someone to take over."
The company had dug for so long without striking much gold, naturally leading them to conclude that there was no gold.
But Duan Jinnian insisted that there would definitely be gold.
Duan Jinnian’s skills were ranked first in the company, which made the decision difficult for the management.
If it hadn’t been for Duan Jinnian’s insistence, the higher-ups would have stopped the project long ago.
After insisting for a while, the company finally couldn’t hold on any longer and simply decided to sell the project.
Yet Duan Jinnian still believed in his judgment and told his friend Liu Jianping about it, urging him to take over the project. If they could excavate the gold, they would make a fortune.
Unfortunately, Liu Jianping merely said he would consider it.
After some time thinking it over, he replied that he would not take it on.
This made him feel regretful, thinking that his friend Liu Jianping had missed a golden opportunity to make a killing.
If it hadn’t been for his lack of funds, he would have taken on the project himself.
Duan Jinnian was about to say more when suddenly his phone rang. After glancing at the caller ID, he answered the call.
After hanging up, Duan Jinnian stood up and said to everyone, "The boss taking over the project has arrived. Let’s prepare and go to the entrance to welcome the new boss."
Twenty minutes later, several off-road vehicles stopped at the entrance of the office building.
Mr. Duan Jinnian, along with the project team, awaited them at the entrance.
Shen Dong got out of the car, surveying the surroundings.
The environment was quite acceptable, with all sorts of facilities complete.
"Mr. Duan, let me introduce you. This is Shen Dong, the new owner who will take over the project," introduced Wang Peng.
This is the boss? So young?
No wonder he was tricked by Xijiang Gold Company into taking over the project.
Apart from Mr. Duan, such a thought crossed everyone else’s mind.
"Hello, boss," they greeted, snapping back to reality.
"Hello, everyone," Shen Dong greeted back with a smile.
"Mr. Shen, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Duan Jinnian, and this is..." Wang Peng began introducing the project team members to Shen Dong.
He introduced them one by one, and each person shook hands with Shen Dong.
Afterward, the group entered the office building.
Wang Peng then performed the project handover with Shen Dong.
Once the handover was complete, Shen Dong transferred the remaining fifteen million to the Xijiang Gold Company’s account.
Upon confirmation of receipt by the company’s finance department, Wang Peng said his farewells and left.
As long as the handover was complete, they would not stay there for long but hurry back to their country.
Shen Dong called a meeting with all the members of the project team in the conference room.
In total, the project team consisted of thirty-eight people, most of whom were technical staff.
Mr. Duan briefed Shen Dong on the project’s situation, then said, "Mr. Shen, I firmly believe there is gold in this mine. If we keep
